I Don't Want Your Money


I Don't Want Your Money
Composer(s): Robert Lamm; Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago



I don't want your money
It don't mean a thing
I don't need no fancy clothes
Or a diamond ring
I don't have to ride in style
In your limousine
I don't want no trouble
No tax or Uncle Sam
All I want is you...
I wanna be your natural man

I don't want no prestige
'Cause I got my pride
I don't want your social standing
I'd rather stand outside
I don't have no time to worry
'Bout your greedy jive
I don't want your money
I don't like that game
All I want is you...
I want to be your natural man

I Don't Want To Want You Anymore


I Don't Want To Want You Anymore
Composer(s): Henry Small; Richie Zito
Performer(s): Prism



If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
I wish you'd go there now
If there's someone else. don't stay with me
Cause I don't wanna doubt the love that you give
Make it for real or make it goodbye

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

Is there any reason why you changed
It gets me so confused
I don't know why you should find it strange
That I want you to choose between him and me
How can I lose what I've already lost

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

Well then let me know
Don't keep me in the dark
We've been lovers
We've been friends
But if it's gone too far

I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby
Oh, I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby ahh
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl

I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me

(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, baby)
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
I know you don't want me
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
Baby, don't you know I want you, I want you
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
(I don't want to want you)

Italian Title: Gesù Kitsch
Composer(s): Charles Level; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Dalida



On t'avait mis en croix et l'on t'a mis en scène
J'ai vu un golgoita sur les bords de la Seine
On t'avait mis en doute et l'on t'a fait super
Elle est dorée la route
Qui monte à ton calvaire

Jésus Kitsch, Jésus Kitsch oh Jésus
Tout est consommé
Jésus barbe et cheveux longs
Jésus lumière au néon
Il est né le dernier enfant de la consommation

Juda t'avait vendu pour trente pièces d'or
Te voilà revendu dans tous bons drugstores
Ta pub est au grand jour sur les murs de nos villes
Tu auras le concours pour tes quatre évangiles

Jésus Kitsch, Jésus Kitsch oh Jésus
Tout est consommé
Jésus barbe et cheveux longs
Jésus lumière au néon
Il est né le dernier enfant de la consommation

Jésus Kitsch, Jésus Kitsch oh Jésus
Tout est consommé
Jésus barbe et cheveux longs
Jésus lumière au néon
Il est né le dernier enfant de la consommation

Performer(s): Johnnie Johnston & Betty Jane Rhodes
and multiple other artists



All our friends keep knocking at the door
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause...

I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me
'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, siree

Today Is Mine


Today Is Mine
Composer(s): Jerry Reed Hubbard
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And as its beauty struck the darkness
From the sky

I thought how small and unimportant
All my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day
Belongs to me

And as the sleepy world around me
Woke up to greet the day
All its silent beauty
Seemed to say

So what, my friend, if all your dreams
You haven't realized
Just look around you
You've got a new day to try

Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

Like most men I curse the present
Void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow
Envision there a sweeter time

But as I view this day around me
I can see the fool I've been
For today's the only garden
That we can tend

Today is mine, today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

I Don't Want To Talk About It


I Don't Want To Talk About It
Composer(s): Danny Whitten
First release by: Crazy Horse - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart

If I stay here just a little bit longer
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart

Easy (The Oak Ridge Boys)


Easy
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



All the boys called her easy
Took her to drive-in movies
And bragged about the good times they had

The girls talked about her
And had parties without her
And wondered why a girl would let herself go so bad

They called her easy, easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her easy, easy
They said she was easy to love

They didn't care if she was lonely
They didn't care if she was only reachin' out
The only way she could

They didn't try to understand her
And this smalltown talk branded her
With names that said she wasn't any good

They called her easy, easy
And laughed about how easy she was
They called her easy, easy
They said she was easy to love

Easy's child came early
It seemed in such a hurry
For one who'd go through life without a name

Easy's eyes were brighter
Than the moonlight on the water
When they handed her the child no one would claim

My friends thought I was crazy
To love Easy and her baby
They said I was a fool, but I just smiled

'Cause love is what you make it
Any way you finally take it
It's the only thing that makes life worthwhile

Now she's easy, easy
And life is not as lonely as it was
Because she's easy, she's easy
She's so easy to love

Now she's easy, easy
And life is not as lonely...

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party


I Don't Want To Spoil The Party
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First recording/First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here
So I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone
please let me know

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here
So I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone
please let me know

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
